TO ALL WHOMIT MAY CONOERN:

` Be it known that I, S. HOWARD LOMBARD, of Winona, in vthe county of Winona, and State of Minnesota,

` have invented certain new and usefullmprove'ments in Machines forK eading Dough; and I do hereby deeg'nthat the following is a full, clear, and exact Vdescription thereof, rf 4'cebjeing had to the-accompanying t drawings, making partof this specication, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, like letters indi- Aeating like parts wherever they occur. Y

To enable others skilled inthe art to construct and use my invention, I will proceed to describeit. v, My invention relates Vto an improved bread or pastry board, with an attachment thereto, for kncadiug 4 the dough without its being necessary to touch it with the hands. l l

Figure il, of thedrawing, is a perspective view of my improved kneader, and Figure is a side elevation ofthe same, with the boardshown folded up, in red lines.'

A represents the kneading-board, which I construct in three sections, connected to'each other 4by means of thchi-ngesc c, as shown in gs. 1 and 2, that the board may be folded'so as to occupy but little space, or unfolded, and used as au ordinary pastry-board, for kneading by hand.

v I next constrhct a frame, B, of suitable size to' sit upon one Aoi' the sections of the board A, and of a length equal to the width of the board, as shown in iig. l. In this said frame I mount a lutcd roller,`C,rhaving bearings in the end-pieces of the frame, as shown in figs. 1 and 2. One of thejouruals of this roller extends through the frame, and has attached to its outer `and ,a crank, D. This crank may be permanently attached, or it `maybe secured by a thumb-nut, so that it'maybe removed when it is desired the machine should not occupy much room, or thatit may not be accidentally broken off. v A, Two leaves or sections of the board, A, I provide with small holes, e e, a's shown in iig. 1,.:md also in red l lines in iig. 2, andthe under sides of the end-pieces of the frame with corresponding dowel-pins, so that when .frame B is set on either section of board'A., and dowel-pins entered, all lateral movement of the frame is prevented. The frame is then fastened down, by meansof the hooks a, on frame B, Wl1ich.a`rc hooked under-Hic pins on the side of the board, and the machine is ready for operation, which is as follows: l l

The roller-frame being attached to the middle section of board A, the crank is tur-ned,la nd the dough fed under from either side, when the roller will draw the" dough under, and Vwork it, with a motion very closely resembling that of the human hand. The dough will passent under on the opposite side ofthe roller, when it may be lifted np over .the roller, and fed through again' from the same side, or thc motion of the roller may be l reversed each time, and the dough fed back `and forth from one s'ide' to the other. l

When it is-desired to use lthe roller, but at the same time have more rom than when thc roller is secured toV-theumiddlc of. theboard', it Ina-y bc taken off and attached to the end section, which `will give room on' the board to cut up the dough, and form tlie'loavcs,l&c., which are afterwards run through sin'gly Aftenthekneading of the betteln and it is desired to lplace the machine away until the next occasion requiring its use, the frame-is ysecured to the middle section of the board, and the other leaves are folded up T against it, as shown in red lines, and 'are held there by the 'hools'on the leaf.

' By this constructionl of apparatus, I am enabled to' furnish a very simple and cilieient kncader and board combined, one which occupies but little room, and all the parts of"which are casyof access, for the purpose of I cleaning it, Ste., &c. v A v i Havingthus fully described my apparatus, what I claim as -my invention, and desire to secure by Letters, Patent, is

The sectional hinged board A,having the detachable frame B, and rollen-C, arranged for use therewith, substantially as shown and described. A i
